Where do I fit?
Iranians in Paris, looking for a foothold.
Nothing grandiose here. A large cast. Some infidelity. A small dry cleaning shop where Tahar Rahim either did or didn't have an affair with another guys wife.
The ex-husband has come back to finalize the divorce. Paperwork.
Around this a daughter who is left in the lurch and a son who belongs to the second Dad. And.......
Well, you have to be there and in the middle as this takes place. Nothing momentous. Nothing too serious. Some of it funny.
This is a movie movie where we are invited into a slice of life where, incidentally, there are some important moments but for the most part mundane things.
The kids are great here. Not the usual juvenile roles at all. Complex and very well acted even by the four year old boy.
I am wandering.
See the trailer. They do better. I am still caught up in it all and this is the second time for me. Maybe the third. I will keep coming I think.
